Benji has been selected by Baseball Australia to represent the country in the U15 National Team at the upcoming World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) World Cup Qualifier in Guam - 28 November to 1 December 2025.His selection came following a nomination from Baseball NSW to Baseball Australia, recognising the hard work and development he’s shown over recent years. It’s an incredible achievement and a proud moment for him, our family and all those who have supported him along the way.
